HEDGE is a 55+ apartment complex that reconsiders the typically modest seniors' housing typology as an opportunity for architectural richness. The four-storey project consists of 48 apartments distributed between two buildings that together frame and preserve a mature stand of cottonwoods. The building's circulation scheme and the landscape intertwine so that experiencing the well-treed courtyard becomes an integral part of everyday life.Starting from the ground floor and continuing upwards to the roof terrace, a gently sloping promenade moves from interior to exterior and back again, forming a continuous walkway that weaves the buildings together and bridges the half storey height differential separating them. The boardwalk serves a pragmatic role by providing access to common exit stairs for both buildings, and also offers a recreational amenity for residents - a means to take a daily stroll through the trees.The building is clad in corrugated corten steel, with added depth provided by a mesh screen that spans vertically between eight inch deep flashing angles, creating space where planters can be placed.

We strive to be sensitized to the unique landscapes, natural preserves, and cultural communities that dot our maps. We aspire to be responsible stewards of the global environment and to maximize the value of the resources at hand. In all our efforts, our primary goal is to get the best design for the best price, for the client, society, and the planet.Our faith in the value of design motivates us to respond effectively to an equally committed client. Consequently, we seek clients with the courage to consider the possibilities of a building that serves their needs while at the same time, contributes to the public life of their community. We enjoy working for people who are not afraid to genuinely examine how they live and work, and how their material possessions fit in to a world overflowing with consumer goods. We believe in the value of designing things that are both good-looking and well-built, so that they endure for the long term.
